As well as being the scene of the Pied Piper's famous tale, Hamelin offers some fantastic festive markets at this time of year.

As you enjoy the Christmas markets in the Old Town, you'll soon realise that the most striking thing about Hamelin is its abundance of beautiful 16th and 17th century architecture. A more typically medieval Germanic town is difficult to find.

A most picturesque location to do your Christmas shopping, with its decorated wooden stalls selling gifts, handicrafts, food and mulled wine!

Your 4 Star hotel is just a short stroll from the medieval Old Town, where you and your partner can discover the delights of a traditional German Christmas market and pick up some unique Christmas gifts for yourselves or even family and friends.
